The British Rail Class D2/5 was a locomotive commissioned by British Rail in England. It was a diesel powered locomotive in the pre-TOPS period built by Andrew Barclay with a Gardner engine.

History

The Eastern and North Eastern Regions (E&NER) originally classified them DJ14 under a scheme devised in 1954 where "D" denoted Diesel, and "J" denoted the 0-6-0 wheel arrangement. They were subsequently reclassified by the E&NER D2/5 (February 1960) and then 2/12A (June 1962). They were reported in several sources as having received the TOPS classification Class 05, along with Hunslet shunter D2554 (the last surviving member of Class D2/8 (2/15A from 1962)), though this was in error, and the D2/5 machines are not listed as such in the latest works by Marsden, 2011.
